Will a protostar form near the end of a star's life cycle?

What happens to a protostar to eventually form a main sequence star?
It must collect enough mass in order for gravity to be able to turn it into a sphere.
What is a star called before it is born?
A star is called a protostar before it begins nuclear fusion in its core and officially becomes a star. During this stage, a protostar is formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust, as gravity pulls material together and heats up the core.
